Strengthen defensive depth ahead of season |
Leoni bypasses the loan route and becomes part of the first-team setup right away—a sign of the club’s confidence in him. With departures like Jarell Quansah and uncertainty over Ibrahima Konaté’s contract future, a robust, long-term solution at the heart of defense was essential for Arne Slot’s squad.
Tipped as one of Serie A’s brightest young defenders, Leoni impressed in his 17 appearances last season—standing out with his physicality, tactical intelligence, and ability to handle top-level competition.
Liverpool's summer business is already impressive, but Leoni’s arrival solidifies a vision that will balance the need for immediate utility that Liverpool seeks, along with long-term ambition.
